“My friend Sydney helped my puppy Xena learn “go to spot” and practice her “heel” outside. She was patient and rewarded Xena with her favorite treats to help make training easy for her. She did not push her past her limit and left room for her to make the right choice! I would highly recommend Sydney if you’re looking to get your pup trained by someone seasoned and experienced, she is so caring, genuine and just overall wonderful to work with!”
“We had such a great experience working with Kathleen! She gave us incredibly helpful and practical tips for potty training, separation anxiety, and leash walking. The strategies were easy to implement and made a noticeable difference for our pup. Her office hours were especially helpful - being able to check in, ask questions, and tweak things as we went along made the whole process much less stressful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for thoughtful, effective dog training guidance!”
“Jenna was absolutely fantastic with my little guy. My dog has a big personality and is very anxious and defensive of me, Jenna was ready for all of that immediately. In addition to asking about his health issues prior, she came so prepared to help me and did so well at that! I’m a huge pushover with my dog and I care so much about him being happy and she totally got that. I’m super excited to work with Jenna again! Highly recommend.”
“Mary is an amazing dog trainer! I highly recommended her. She has helped us train Calvin, our very lovable, smart and stubborn German Shepherd to the point where he listens to our commands right away. Mary has also taken the time to educate us so that we can continue training our dog at home. Neighbors have commented on the big changes they see in Calvin’s behavior when we take him for walks and dinners at home are much more peaceful! Most importantly, we have a newborn in our home and Calvin has been wonderful and gentle with her.”
About: My approach is grounded in positive reinforcement and evidence-based methods, ensuring that both you and your pets have a rewarding and enjoyable training experience. I use the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach to training. This method emphasizes using the least intrusive and minimally aversive strategies to achieve positive behavior change. By prioritizing the welfare and comfort of your pet, we ensure that the training process is as stress-free and effective as possible.
“Grace is knowledgeable, kind, communicative and a calming presence for my dog! She taught me and my pup a lot in just one session, leads with positive reinforcement and compassion, and I feel confident that after a few more sessions, my pup will be confident, calm, and ready to take on any challenge, big or small. I highly recommend Grace for doing training!”
“Bill was great! He was great with our dog, and his approach was thorough and incredibly helpful. Bill took plenty of time to work with our dog directly, answer questions that we have, and come up with a plan moving forward. Highly recommended.”
About: Dog training is my absolute passion. Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a dog trainer. I work with shelter dogs every day, handling hundreds of dog over my career. I am used to working with all breeds, ages and sizes.
“We rescued Sully when he was 4 months old Immediately it appeared he had reactive behavioral issues stemming from his previous environment Dory worked as Sully's personal trainer & within 3 months he was a different dog She taught him agility & guided him through successful days at day camp Initially I was very concerned Sully may not be the right fit for our family, but Dory made me feel comfortable & confident with her training techniques. Sully is now a well adjusted rescue terrier that can go on successful walks, interact with other dogs & enjoy his daily life with our family. Thanks Dory!”
About: My passion is training. There is nothing I love more than seeing your dog transform to the best dog he/she can be! I strive to get the best out of every dog, while being as accommodating as possible.
About: As a behavioral dog trainer at the Quincy Animal Shelter, I specialize in understanding what makes each dog tick. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor my training approach to fit your dog’s unique personality and needs. By taking the time to observe and understand your dog’s behavior and temperament, I create a customized training plan that aligns with your goals and fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. Together, we’ll build a happier, more confident dog—one step at a time.
“Cara is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced professional with a lovey and outgoing manner. She has a pleasant and fun approach to helping you understand the mind of your dog. Her straightforward manner is easy to follow and fun to watch as she leads your puppy to follow simple commands. I am pleased to be in good hands as we begin to help our puppy Ferris grow to be his best. Doing one on one training is great for both you and your dog, it helps the dog to concentrate and have fewer distractions like they would have in a puppy class. I highly recommend working with her!”
“My dog is reactive, so it was important to me to find the right trainer with the right level of skill and an approach I agreed with. It was immediately clear to me that Maura is exactly what my dog and I need. Her depth of knowledge is incredible. She effortlessly cites research as she teaches, demonstrating each pointer she provides is not just her personal opinion but based in science. She's a passionate student of dog behavior, on top of her extensive practical experience. She gave me practical exercises and tips which I could immediately put into action and I'm already seeing a positive change in my dog's behavior. Not to mention, she's got a wonderful personality and creates a judgment-free space for learning. My dog agrees - he was snuggled up on the couch with her within about 4 minutes of meeting her. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: I have personally owned several varieties of dog from Irish Wolfhound to Mini-pinscers, tall to small and everywhere in between. I personally like working with larger dogs. I am 5-11, 240 lbs and can handle larger stronger dogs with on leash pulling issues. I am retired from 30 yrs of construction, and this is my second career to last me into old age.
“Laura, not only knows dogs very well, but she clearly explains their motivations and how to use them to encourage the desired behavior. She's the best I have met - and I have encountered many trainers over the years.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mike trained both of my Yellow Labs, and the results were amazing. Before working with him, I was being dragged around on walks and couldn't get them to heel. Within five minutes, Mike had them walking properly. He made training look simple and taught me the correct techniques and fundamentals to maintain their good behavior. We had previously worked with a terrible trainer and were discouraged, but finding Mike changed everything. My Labs are now the best-behaved dogs I've ever owned. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for real results. 🐾”

Dog Training FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
Trainers listing on Rover must be credentialed dog trainers, commit to reward-based training methods, and pass a background check to offer dog training in Burlington.
Reward-based training encourages dogs to offer desired behaviors by reinforcing the behavior with something the dog likes; treats, play, or toys. Reward-based training prioritizes using the least intrusive intervention; it promotes thinking rather than punishing mistakes.
When rewards are used, the likelihood the behavior is repeated increases. The positive connection to the reward results in making learning enjoyable, strengthens the human animal bond and over time leads to consistent desired behaviors.
Training can happen many places — your home, a park, a store, or anywhere else that you and your trainer decide is best for the training you are doing! Many trainers will recommend training in your home. This allows them to observe your dog in their natural environment so they can effectively assess and best help reach your training goals.
Trainers will often mention on their profile where they typically hold training sessions, but you can always contact a trainer to learn more!
Rover makes it easy to find Burlington dog trainers to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star trainers you can find on Rover will work with you and your dog to build new skills and address behaviors. Dog trainers can work on:
- Puppy training, adult dog training, agility training, clicker training and advanced training.
- Behaviors such as barking, leash manners, leash reactivity, house manners, jumping, fearful behavior, anxious behavior, separation distress, recall, biting, chewing, mouthiness, potty training and resource guarding.
Of course! Having a trainer that is the right fit for both you and your pup is an important step to reaching your training goals. We recommend reaching out to any trainer that interests you. Your initial request is not final until both you and the trainer decide you want to move forward with booking.
Also, trainers may offer or require consultations. Make sure to ask trainers so you can make the best decision for you and your pet.
Many trainers on Rover indicate experience in a wide range of behaviors, from puppy training to more advanced behaviors and training types.
Review a trainer’s profile to see if their experience aligns with your needs, and if you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact them to ensure they’re the right trainer for you and your pet.
